If god were real...

[John V]

So, another thread got me to thinking about this:

If god were real, how would you expect him to act? What would you expect him to do?

Here is what I posted in the other thread:

I expect nothing less from your god than your god expects from me.

God commands "Thou shall not kill" and then turns around and orders genocide. He says "Love thy neighbor as thyself" and then condones slavery and the selling of daughters. He does shitty things to good people and still expects to be worshipped and praised.

Until your god starts walking the walk and not being a "Do as I say, not as I do" kind of god, he can fuck off. He is certainly not worthy of worship or praise of any kind, even if he wasn't a fairy tale.

So what are your thoughts?

I think you, like every other atheist here, is presumptuous to think you're on an equal basis with God, and you fail to consider how man treats species which he considers lesser than himself.

For example, I've committed genocide a number of times. When ants get in our house, I find the nest and wipe out the whole colony. I do so with chemicals available in the local store, so I'm apparently not alone.
